Hate

I loved you with all my heart

But you let it fall apart

My fear was of losing you

You made my fear come true

This pain is too much to bare

When with you I couldn't share

I can't do this by myself

You put me up on a shelf

I still smell you in the sheets

I haven't washed them for weeks

The fridge still contains your beers

They won't wash away these tears

I saw you with her today

I just want to make you pay

You looked at her lovingly

Like you used to look at me

How could you betray my trust

By giving into your lust?

I thought our love was so strong

How could you prove me wrong?

The pain eats away my soul

Leaving me empty, unwhole

Inside me it's getting dark

You've definitely left your mark

I saw you again last night

My thoughts would have caused you fright

I wanted to slit your throat

Like a sacrificial goat

The anger consumes me like fire

I hate you for being a liar

I wish I could just be free

Then you would be chasing me.
